So I guess this disturbed person was originally a girl?
You really have to read the article to get the full flavor of the degree of their investment in trans, echoing the ongoing stonewalling of release of the notorious 'manifesto' by trans shooter what's-her-name.
Art is art. Commerce is commerce. Sure you can commercialize art. But there is the old question that if art has a purpose is it really art, or is it propaganda?
Wow, WaPo, did you bend over before or after the “interview”?
Journalism...when you absolutely, positively cannot get a real job.
At least, you and your compatriots are doing a fine job of erasing what few percentages of remaining respect that you had.
She’s not a Satanist, she just uses the imagery as subversive pushback.
Now let’s see a sympathetic interview about the imagery of the Confederate flag.
Awwwwwww. 🖕
So being a sodomite equals death?
Can't say he is wrong.
Queer people are sinful, there’s an valid solution for such behavior written in the Bible. If I lived in a Godly nation, I would never see such an article.
Translation: “I subvert transphobia and instill inclusion by using symbols and graphics meant to frighten, anger, and alienate people with traditional moral values!”
But change that to “Homo Headrest” and listen to them screech like a bunch of wet hens.
…we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior,” the company said in a statement this week, citing threats the company had received against its staff.
I suspect any “threats” received were along the lines of “I’m not going to shop at Target anymore.”
“I’m speaking of a closeted kid who needs to see that there is positivity and hope and humor and love and enjoyment and pride awaiting him in the future,” he said.
Leave the children alone, you vile predator.
This particular individual may be backpedaling, but there is definitely a push from TPTB to make one specific Satanic cult respectable mainstream.
Giving this fool the benefit of the doubt, as well as a charitable reading -
His error was to assume that his “audience” in the case of Target, were people in his own bubble, who would understand and appreciate his brand of irony. But Target customers, the vast majority, are not at all the sort of people he knows.
This is about living in a bubble. You can’t do marketing unless you know your customer, and he didn’t. You have to go out of your way to break your bubble, to understand the psychology of your audience.
Add to that the impulse behind his “ironic” approach. This guy has severe anger and hatred issues, which come out of his assumptions about the enemies he wants to bash.
And even if people were to “get” that his message is ironic, There is no way to market anything by weaponizing contempt. That is an entirely negative approach to persuasion, and very dangerous. People easily perceive that “irony” as being turned against them.
The Target management were even greater fools, in unleashing this character, with his obvious anger and hatred problems, as a marketing campaign. Like the case with Budweiser, it is probably due to some mid management marketing goofs working in a confirmation bias circle. No adult was paying attention.

So the WAPO favors porn for children.
He can explain it to God in front of His throne. I don’t care to hear it.
Abprallen is a lyin’ sack of S. He is using Satanic imagery to fight the belief homosexual’s are into Satan? And the article: Abprallen’s “edgiest” piece is a pin of guillotine with tag, “homophobe headrest.” Oh, yes, that is the way to fight the ‘narrative’ that homosexuals are sinful.
